How do I remove Cinnamon?
Today I installed Cinnamon 1.4 but when I log in to it I can't see any panels, just my background image. Can you tell me how to log in to Unity using the terminal and how to remove Cinnamon?
From your post on Ubuntu Forums
Boot into Recovery mode and type this for the var/apt/cache error:sudo mount -n -o remount /
Then disable auto login from virtual console by doing the followingsudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
Some of the lines should look like this
[SeatDefaults]
autologin-guest=false
autologin-user=username
autologin-user-timeout=0
autologin-session=lightdm-autologin
greeter-session=unity-greeter
user-session=ubuntu
Just put a # before all lines starting with autologin
Then whenever you boot into Ubuntu just change the login to unity
from the lightdm's login screen options
Also you might want to remove Cinnamon
Then type in the terminal
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove cinnamon
Hope that helps.
